Personal Taxation

Everyone is required to contribute some form of personal taxation – the most common being National Insurance and Income Tax.

What is personal taxation?

With the ever-changing tax legislations, finding the time and developing the specialist knowledge to understand what’s required to manage your personal tax affairs can be difficult.

Employers, or a professional accountant if you own a business, will deal with your personal Income Tax and National Insurance. By using the correct tax code monthly amounts will be deducted from your earnings.

Income Tax is a government levy, collected by HMRC and is collectively used to fund public services such as the National Health Service, welfare support, education and community projects such as housing and transport networks – road and rail.

Lesser known personal taxation

There is a long list of taxes that an individual may be required to contribute, usually the result of life incidents and family circumstances:

Taxes on savings, investments and trusts can vary significantly depending on age, the number of people (and their relationship) involved and the type of investment taken – dividends, shares or tax-free ISAs.

Personal taxation and foreign countries

You will be subject to tax responsibilities should you come to the UK from a foreign country or leave the UK to live elsewhere.

Similarly, if you live or work abroad or offshore such as on an oilrig or as a holiday rep, but your country of residence remains in the UK, there may be implications to pay personal tax.

Even foreign entertainers and sportspeople are subject to pay personal tax whilst in the UK.
